FMJ Facilities Management magazine providing industry-specific intelligence to FM and property professionals
As the upcoming March 31st deadline approaches for Simpler Recycling Glasdon have created a 5-step guide for preparing your business and remaining compliant.
#1 – Conduct A Thorough Waste Audit:
– Identify Waste Streams: Determine the types of waste your business generates, e.g. food waste, paper & card etc.
– Assess Quantities: Measure the volume of waste generated for each type.
– Analyse Your Bins: Check how many bins you have, their capacity, and the waste streams they collect.
#2 – Arrange Your Waste Collection:
– Schedule Regular Collections: Establish a collection schedule that works for your business, ensuring timely waste removal and preventing overflowing.
– Partner With Reliable Collectors: Choose a reliable waste collector that complies with environmental regulations.
#3 – Optimise Your Recycling Infrastructure
– Invest In The Right Bins: Consider durable, user-friendly models that offer multiple waste streams or different configurations depending on your business’s waste needs. If tight on space, consider compact models with narrow footprints.
– Implement Proper Signage: Guide employees and visitors with clear and concise signage to encourage correct disposal and minimise contamination.
– Site Your Bins: Strategically place them in convenient locations to make waste disposal easier.
#4 – Stay Informed:
– New waste management legislation is constantly being introduced, and old laws updated, so it’s crucial to keep on top of any regulatory changes and stay aware of evolving recycling best practice.
#5 – Leverage Expert Guidance:
Partnering with waste management experts can provide valuable insights and support. Consult with
industry professionals to:
– Conduct in-depth waste audits and assessments.
– Develop customised waste management plans.
– Select appropriate waste collection and management solutions.
– Ensure compliance with all relevant regulations.
